To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NELSON Gonen'r'r, a

' durable since it does not use the. springs,

brackets, and catches which are so troublesome in the doors now in common use owing to the fact that they become easily broken. Furthermore, these hinges, brackets, and springs collect dust etc., and it is almost impossible to. properly clean them.

A still further very important object of the invention is to provide an oven door of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, one which is eflicient and reliable in its operation, not likely to easily become out of order, and otherwise wel adapted for the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above andnumerous other objects in view, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention residesin certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: I

Figure 1- is a fragmentary front elevation of a stove'showingmy improved oven door associated therewith.

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a perspective view thereof showing the door in a-fully opened position.

Figure 41- is a similar view showing 7 the door open and extended.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the stove is designated generally by the letter S and includes an oven the opening 5. Along the portion 0 having 9 vertical sides of the opening 5 there is provided on the oven brackets designated generally by the letters B. Each bracket B is formed from a single provided a handle 19.

O, a pair of my improved.

strip of resilientnia't'e'rial such "as steel'whicli r is bent intermediate its ends to provide an arm 7 oifset downwardly as at 8 and having its extremity in the form of a, loop 9. The body portion 10 extends upwardly from the arm and terminates in an outwardly slanting portion 11 bent over upon itself as at 12. A portion 13 depends from the arm 7 and terminates in vaneupwardly extending hook portion 14.

A bar 15 has its ends fixed in'th'e loops 9. The door 16 is provided with projec-a and projections 17 at its upper corners Adjacent the tions 18 at its lower corners. upper. edge,

The door when closed, has its upperprojections 17 resting on the extensions 11 and its lower projections 18 resting in the hook portions 11. To open the door, the handle, 19 is grasped and the door is raised to clear the-projections 17 of the extensions 11 and then the door may be lowered to the position shown in Figure 3, when the projection 17 will rest on the arms 7. If it isdesired to extend the door to the position shown in Figure 1 in order that a baking pan or the like can be rested thereon, the projections 18 are piaced in engagement with the under sides l o the arms 7 while an intermediate portion of the door rests on the bar 15.

on the outer surface, there is 'It is thought that the construction, op-

eration and advantages of this invention will now be clearly understood without a bodiment of the invention has been described in detail merely by way ofexample,

since in actual practice it attains the feathe above description. It will be apparent however, that numerous changes in the details of construction, in the materials, in the sizes, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed orsacrificinganyof its advantages.

Having thus described myinvention what I claim as new is:,

1. Intcombination, a. stove provided with an opening, a door associated with the open.- ing, brackets associated with the stove and provided with upper and lower hook portions, andintermediately'disposed arms, and a bar attached to the ends of said arms,

more detailed description. vThe present em- 7 said door being provided with projections engageable with said hook portions.

2. In combination, a door provided with projections at its upper corners and projections at its lower corners, a pair of brackets disposed in parallelism, each bracket formed from a single sheet of material bent over upon itself intermediate its ends to form arms terminating in loops, a portion 10 projecting upwardly from the arms and terminating in an outwardly disposed extension for receiving the upper projections of the door, and a portion extending downwardly from the arms and terminating in hooks to receive the lower projections of the doors, and a bar having its ends disposed in the loops on the ends of the arms.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

NELSON CORBETT.
